The Ghosts of This Farm Speak to Me
Description
In this episode, I read my latest Stable Roots piece, The Ghosts of This Farm Speak to Me — a story about loss, land, and what it means to finally arrive. It begins with Sheba, the brave black mare who didn’t survive the move to our new farm, and unfolds into what she left behind: a lesson in trust, belonging, and the ways the land holds us when we let it.
This episode isn’t just about grief. It’s about listening—about what the body knows, what the land remembers, and how even in heartbreak, the right ones find a way to stay.
If this story moves you, you can help us honor Sheba by supporting our GoFundMe. The funds raised will help us finish building a safe and permanent home for the Bramblewood herd and pursue justice for Sheba—so no other horse ever meets the same fate.
